How to Use PS4 Controller on PC
There are two ways to connect a DualShock 4 to your PC/Laptop. You can go the wired or wireless routes:

How to Connect PS4 Controller to PC without Bluetooth (Wired Method):
Plug your controller into a USB port with a USB-to-micro-USB cable

How to Use PS4 Controller on PC (Bluetooth Method):
1. With the DualShock 4 turned off (You'll know by the deactivated light bar), press and hold the PlayStation and Share buttons for three seconds until the light bar starts double flashing.
2. Access the Bluetooth menu on your PC via the system tray.
3. Click "Add Bluetooth or other device."
4. Click ‘Bluetooth.’
5. Select the DualShock 4 controller from the list that pops up.

PS4 controller won't turn on? After pairing to PC using Bluetooth, if you press the PlayStation button and the light bar doesn't turn on, but it says your controller is 'Connected' in the 'Bluetooth and other devices' settings, this means your controller is on.

How to turn off PS4 Controller on PC (Bluetooth mode)
Press and hold the PlayStation button for 10 seconds.

Getting the Gamepad to Work:
Most current Windows games use Microsoft's XInput, an interface that processes Xbox 360 and Xbox One controller inputs. The DualShock 4 doesn't send XInput commands, so a wrapper is needed to translate its inputs into something your PC can deal with easier. There are two good options: DS4Windows and Steam's controller compatibility settings.

How to Connect PS4 Controller to Steam:
If your favourite games are on Steam, here’s how to make them work with the DualShock 4:
1. Go to the Settings menu in Steam (under Steam on the taskbar).
2. Select the Controller menu.
3. Click ‘General Controller Settings.’
4. Turn on your Dualshock 4
5. Ensure the ’PlayStation Configuration Support.’ Box is ticked.

DS4Windows PS4 Controller on PC guide:
DS4 Windows makes it possible for you to use your PlayStation and Nintendo controllers on a Windows 10/11 PC by emulating a virtual Xbox/DS4 controller (Also works with the PS5 controller!)

How to Download DS4Windows
Head to https://ds4-windows.com/drivers/ and download Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus (ViGEmBUS), Microsoft .Net 6.0 Runtime and Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (If needed). Then download the official DS4Windows App.

How to Use DS4Windows:
DS4Windows should immediately recognize any controllers properly connected to the PC.

Though USB cables are the most reliable, connecting the controller wirelessly via Bluetooth will offer similar response times (input delay) and stable connections as long as a good quality BT adapter is being used and no major radio interference is affecting the connection.

How DS4Windows works:
DS4Windows works by remapping the user’s “real” gamepad into a new, virtual / “fake” / emulated gamepad (check the GIF below) or by directly mapping the real gamepad to the user’s keyboard and mouse.

DS4Windows was created by InhexSTER, branched off to Elctrobrains and eventually recreated by Jays2Kings. DS4Windows is maintained by Ryochan7.
